Roadmap, plan and delivery tech-lead for Central-SRE team in Maersk. Designed and developed various automation and diagnostic platforms, and enabled them with GenAI agents and chat assistants.GenAI driven Automation for Next-Gen Operations: - Workbench: Application-Health, Anomaly detection, root-cause identification, notification and remediation enabled with RAG, Agents, workflows, combined with Statistical analysis and ML. Unattended and human-in-the-loop capabilities and web-UI. Curated metrics, concept of Stack with standard and custom metrics, CMDB, service-now sources. Combination-alerts providing symptoms and root-causes in notifications. Automation to remediate identified issues, and proactive maintenance.- Tech-Ops Assistant: RAG with vector store and agents resolving majority of user queries reducing need for human assistance. High success rate, variety of documents, chat history and reinforcement learning.Automation:- Autotron, the company-standard automation platform in data centers, cloud and terminals.Touch free deployments, remediations and diagnosis across networks with secure and robust design. On-Demand, Scheduled and event-driven. Workflows ranging from agent installs, OS patching, database operations, middleware. Browser automation with headless browser. Realized savings of 5000+, potential of 15000+ person hours yearly.
